singer & songwriter
(Jung is pronounced "young")
Performing songwriter, Serina Jung hails from Montreal, Canada. She has two independent albums to her credit: her self-titled 1999 debut, and Sparrows, released in 2003. She has just completed recording her first lullaby cd (due for release March 2010). Recording for her next "grown up" cd is in the works for the end of the year. She has received positive press and has earned several nominations and awards for both her songwriting and her performance style, including a certificate of honorable mention from UniSong and from Billboard's World Songwriting Competition.
Serina has performed on both sides of the border, at clubs and festivals, including Festival Labatt Blues, The Deland Original Music Fest, Calliopefest and Mount Dora Festival for the Arts and has opened for national recording artists Tom Kimmel, Rachel Bissex, and The Little River Band, with blues/R&B powerhouse, Ruth King.
Stylistically, Serina's music is a blend of Pop, Folk and Adult Contemporary, driven by simple melodies and lyrics based on the real-life sentiments of ordinary, yet extraordinary, people.
Many comparisons to Joan Baez, Mary Chapin-Carpenter, Joan Armatrading and Janis Ian make Serina's sound a challenge to really define; perhaps, because in her own way, she is a unique, modern storyteller.
